Keith Richards: `I Snorted My Father'


Apr 3, 4:20 PM (ET)


LONDON (AP) - Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.


Richards, one of rock's legendary wild men, told the magazine that his survival was the result of luck, and advised young musicians against trying to emulate him.

"I did it because that was the way I did it. Now people think it's a way of life," he was quoted as saying.

"I've no pretensions about immortality," he added. "I'm the same as everyone ... just kind of lucky.

"I was No. 1 on the 'who's likely to die' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list," Richards said

I don't think it is messed up. It is no more messed up than spending thousands of dollars to put a dead corpse into an outrageously expensive box to rot in the ground.

Personally I think graveyards are dumb, and so is spending assloads of cash to go through the whole burial routine. I don't care what happens to my body, but I do care that my family not waste money on my corpse and a meaningless tradition.

 

[DontStop]

I hope I'm used in pig feed when I die

David Cross said that he doesn't care if they donate him to a group of necrophiliacs. They can fuck in in mouth, fuck him in the ass, make a knew whole, and fuck him there. He said it wouldn't care, because he can't, because he would be dead.

I dont think its good to spend thousands but I think its a good idea to have a good burial. The whole process furthers the closure regarding the person's death and a lot of people like to return to that site and mourn/talk.

Personally, I want a Spok like burial and shot into space.

 

[DontStop]

BAHAHA that would be amazing

 

[KelJu]

I like the viking's way. They would put the corpse onto a raft made of sticks and stray, then set it on fire at sea. That is cool, and sounds very inexpensive.
